Abstract
Methods for updating an electronic device having a non-volatile memory are disclosed. An embodiment of the present invention may permit the update of an electronic device from a first code version to a second code version using a fault-tolerant, bank-by-bank method. An update package comprising update instructions may be received via a public and/or wireless network, and the update instructions may be used to convert the first code version to the second code version. The bank order of the conversion may be specified in the update package, and may be non-sequential.
